Google really *IS* starting to suck bad.
I'm not even talking about the crap and fluf that find's it's way into the results, but simple text searches that used to return 10's of thousands of hits won't return anything anymore.
Also, I frequently need to search for strings where "", *, and | arn't enough to deal with the variations I need to express.
Is there a search engine that has better pattern and string tools?
Here's a search that used to routinely return 50,000+ results, now only returning 5.
"haven't|not been|managed * to make|get this|that thing * yet"
